We've been clients of EC for the past 5+ years for multiple children for various reasons. We've always been pleased with the tutors they have chosen for us and our goals and expectations have been consistently met!

Thank you Ann for providing such a helpful resource for our family. You have an amazing team. Jan and Jill are knowledgeable, kind and effective. Your office staff is also very professional and courteous. We are pleased with how our son has learned and grown with his tutors. Your newsletters are helpful and provide us with good strategies we can implement at home.

My daughter has always struggled with math and was found to have dyscalculia a year ago. She attends an academically rigorous school and her self confidence had been plummeting. Once she started working with Judy however, things quickly changed. Judy is warm and kind, but firm, and stays on task for the whole session. I overhear her praise and encourage my daughter appropriately, yet also persisting with difficult concepts. Judy communicated regularly with my daughter's math teacher at school, resulting in my daughter always being prepared for homework, tests, quizzes and exams. Her grade shot up and now vacillates between A and B. Judy is a gem – we are very lucky to have been introduced to her.

Both our boys had SAT tutoring through Educational Connections. Our oldest son began tutoring in January 2014. Our son was a very good student and test taker, but we wanted private tutoring to get his SAT to the next level. His goal was to take the test once, which he did in June, and scored 2250. (When he considered trying to cram the final tutoring sessions together to take the test earlier, the tutor was able to convince him that there was no rush and he should wait for the June test. This was the perfect advice.) Our younger son started tutoring in late 2016. He wants to play soccer in college and at the schools he is interested in, he was told he needed between a 1350-1400. His goal was to take the test as many times as needed to get that score. Thinking he could short cut the system, after only a few tutoring sessions, he took the test in December and got a 1240 or 1250. He then really buckled down with his tutor and she did a great job motivating him, resulting in a 200 point improvement when he took the test in March. We were so thrilled that the same tutor was still with Educational Connections 3 years after first tutoring our older son. Our two boys had different goals and have different study styles, but their tutor was able to get the best from both of them. Thank you so much to her and to EC!

We highly recommend Educational Connections. My daughter received tutoring from mid/late September until she took the ACT in December. The staff of Educational Connections made a smart decision in pairing my daughter with her tutor. Her tutor is highly intelligent, organized, patient, warm, and kind. She knew exactly how to connect with my daughter and somehow made all of the sessions at our dining room table interesting. She proctored the practice tests my daughter took on 2 Saturday mornings and then went over the results at the weekly Sunday tutoring session at my house. She gave my daughter practical tips on how to manage her time when taking the ACT and deal with tricky ACT questions, among other bits of wisdom. My daughter looked up to her tutor who also practices law full time and has boundless amounts of energy. My daughter ended up raising her scores from a 24 on a practice ACT to a composite of 29 on the December ACT to a composite of 30 on the February ACT. Thanks to our tutor for all of her wise counsel!

We have used EC tutoring services several times since our daughter was in the 5th grade (she is now a junior in high school). At the end of the 4th grade she was diagnosed with dysgraphia and we had tutors from EC tutoring work with her to catch up to her grade level academically and help her learn skills to mitigate the challenges of her dysgraphia. We are now using EC tutoring for college test prep. We really liked the opportunity to do mock testing to determine which test (ACT vs. SAT) would be most appropriate for our daughter. We have signed up for one of the college test prep tutoring packages and are very happy with her tutor for this.

We are impressed by how well our daughter's tutor knows the material and the standardized exam system. The tutor has a great working relationship with our daughter, and accommodates her demanding homework schedule.

We appreciate EC's follow up reports, summarizing the sessions. Very happy with EC's one on one, in home tutoring. You make the whole process so much easier and manageable.

Kristin works well with my son. I'm satisfied with what Kristin has done with him so far. There are still a lot of work to be done with Joseph on the quality of his work and be organized independently.

The tutors recommended for our daughter are always so easy to work with and deliver strong results. We feel so fortunate to be able to work with EC and look forward to doing so again in the future! I would highly recommend EC to any parent wanting to provide additional support.

The process for signing up is easy and the staff moves quickly to find you a match. We have used two tutors from EC and they were perfect fits for my son and my daughter, who have very different learning styles.

Great communication between tutor and parents. Program tailored to our child's needs not a cookie cutter solution. Program changes as child learns. We have a son with ADHD. He has great grades but struggles terribly at managing assignments (homework) and needed some math brush up. We started with Educational Connections 3 weeks before the end of the school year and continued into the summer. Our son's tutor, Joe, has been very flexible. He's accommodated our travel schedule and gives "assignments" to be completed during those times. He reviews the materials when we return and then proceeds forward with new objectives. After every session we have a recap and also receive a written follow up as soon as the next day. Based on our experience thus far, we've decided to continue when school starts this Fall. We're eager to see how the sessions will impact our son's performance as he enters 7th grade.

I have nothing but the highest praise for Ms. Hirsch! She was an outstanding tutor – not only was she kind, patient and encouraging with my daughter, but she went out of her way to accommodate our schedule and meet with [my daughter] before her test dates. She would ask to see the calendar of homework and tests so that she could prepare ahead of time and be ready for any questions. Ms. Hirsch was on time, worked overtime, and generally put in an abundance of care and energy into her work with my daughter. As a result of her help, Abi went from a C average in the middle of 7th grade to a final grade of an A in math at the end of 8th grade! What an accomplishment!
